MANTLE SHADE.

Application filed July 31,

To all whom t may concer/1t;

Be it known that l, MILnnnn Amon LArRD, a subject of the King of Great Britain, and a resident of the town of'Renown, in the Province of Saskatchewan and Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and use ful Improvements in Mantle Shades, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in .nantle shades, and more particularly to that class of shade known as the duplex shade for Coleman or any other kind of lamp.

The objects of the invention are to pro vide an efficient and economically con- ,.ftructed shade of this character that will combine with an artistically harmonious appearance all the functions of a protector for the inantles against flies, moth and draughts.

lilith the foregoing and other objects in fiew, the invention consists essentially in the novel construct-ion and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described in the accompanying specification and illustrated by the drawings.

Referring to the drawings, in which like characters of reference indicate correspondinoa parts in each ligure, and in which:

ligure 1 is a perspective View of the shade.

Figure 2 is a vertical section with side openings, closed.

Figure 8 is a similar view with the side openings or doors, open.

Figure 4 is a section on the line 1 -4l of Figure 3.

Figure 5 is a perspective view of the top of the shade holder.

Figure 6 is a plan view. Y

Figure 7 is a. perspective view of the screen for the top of the shade. Y

Figure 8 is a perspective view of the protectors designed to cover the bottom of the sbs de inside.

ln the drawings;

A represents the shade as a whole of any suitable material and shape, and here shown made square with bronze met-al or nickel framing and base comprising two pairs of sides 10 and 11. The sides 10 are made plain and can be constructed of glass or any suitable material7 while the other two sides 11 are formed with longitudinal openings therein provided with doors 12 on spring hinges 13, the bottom line of the sides being the centre of the hinge. ,These doors 12 are i922. sei-iai nantaise.'

designed to admittherethrough protectors 1S hereinafter more fully referred to.

14 designates the four-sided roof tapering upwardly from the base or bottoni sides 10 and 11 to terminate in a hollow top or crown 15 formed of metal and provided with bent walls 16 designed to iit over a holder member 17. This holder 17 is made preferably of steel and is provided with legs 18ad at each corner, the legs being bent in the centre at 19 to fit the corners of the shade A.

Below the top of the holder 17 is a cross piece 20, preferably of steel, bent downwardly at right angles at each end to lit the sides of the holder at 21. 22 is a. centre aperture in this cross-piece 2O to fit on a lamp. 23 is a screening member adapted to lit inside the holder 17 and provided with securing means 24 including a bolt and a washerhaving an aperture k25 adapted to have screwed therein the lamp hanger.

The protectors 18 comprise a piece of suitable material centrally divided at 25a into two equal portions designed to be inserted separately through the side doors 12 to close the bottom of the shade A and so complete the protection from moths, flies or draughts. etc. These protectors are designed to be supported in position within the shade A on supports or tracks 26 arranged on all the four sides l() and 11 on the inside. They areV also adapted to form central apertures 27 and 28 therein designed respectively lo permit the passage therethrough of an air pipe and a generator pipe for the generator.

From the foregoing, it will be seen that l have invented a moth, fly and draught-proof mantle shade, the features of which are the side doors 12 in the base of the shade provided with spring hinge doors designed for the insertion therethrough of the protectors or. bottoni closing members 1S which are adapted to lit snugly on the supports 26 arranged around the inside of the shade. thereby, in combination with the top screen member 23, protecting the lamp within the shade from moths, flies and draughts.

What l claim as my invention is:

1. A shade of the character described comprising a frame tapered upwardly from the base to form a hollow top, a holder for the frame provided with extending legs adapted to fit the frame, a cross-piece for said holder formed with a central aperture therein, side openings in the base of the frame registering with one another and provided with spring hinged doors, mea-ns for closing the bottom of the frame comprising a split bottom member designed to be inserted separately through said side openings, and means for supporting said bottom member in position within theI frame, and screen means provided with apertured securing means for the holder.

2. A device of the character described, comprising a frame, a holder and screening means in the holder whereby the frame top is; closed, and means for closing the bottom of the frame, comprising a member suitably supported within the frame, andmeans in the vframe for inserting said member therethrough7 and means for automatically closing said inserting means.

yIn witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.
